Maven Snapshot Repository vs Release Repository

by

Release repositories hold releases and Snapshot repositories hold snapshots. In maven a snapshot is defined as an artifact with a version ending in -SNAPSHOT. When deployed, the snapshot is turned into a timestamp. By definition, snapshots are mutable, releases are immutable. This is why Nexus makes you store them separately because usually you don’t care if you lose snapshots, but you will care if you lose releases. It makes snapshot cleanup much easier to deal with that way.
